EDGEWATER — New tenants are on the way to two Far North Side "L" stations, a Chicago Transit Authority spokeswoman said.

The CTA is reviewing bids for leases at three of the vacant CTA retail spaces at Morse and Granville stations that were renovated in 2012, CTA spokeswoman Catherine Hosinski said.

But five Far North Side spaces, at Morse and Loyola stations, were still out to bid, she said. Jones Lang LaSalle, the firm that manages the retail locations, extended last week the bid deadline for spaces at 1400-02 W. Morse Ave. and 1200-08 W. Loyola Ave.
